PIRATES will take over a coastal beauty spot during the half-term holidays.
A free pirate-themed arts activity trail will take place at Crimdon Dene for two days starting on Friday, June 3.
From 10am to 4pm each day, families will be led along coastal pathways down into the leafy Dene to discover a pirate world full of hands-on activities and entertainment, including story-telling, arts and crafts, a treasure hunt and workshops.
The event will include comedy walkabouts from The Bread and Butter Theatre Company, a pirate talent show with Circurama and a live theatre experience by Dodgy Clutch Theatre Company.
The Heritage Coast Partnership commissioned East Durham Creates to produce the outdoor event as part of their Reach for the Beach Outdoor Festival.
Niall Benson, Heritage Coast Officer said: “Crimdon Dene is one of the treasures on the Heritage Coast and this buccaneering two days of adventure is a great way to set about exploring more of our Heritage Coast gems. East Durham Creates have put together a cracking event”.
